The Duke of Westminster has got himself into

from the calm of the canvas just as he
was painted years ago. the Duke Of Westminster

thought of now chiefly as the shifty despoiler OF
churches and the henchman of Parnell. was
trouble to the ducal digestion. Accordingly the
thing came down from the dining-room wall and
went to the hammer, and brought tho price he
had paid-with more than compound interest.
All the world wondered, and some thought the
Duke, and others that the buyer, had blundered.
Any ray the Duke knew he was happier. and
his agents told HIM he was richer. He was
vexed no more at his simple breakfast table. or
across "the sullen splendor of his feasts" by the
sight OF that sign upon the wall of the betrayal
and the ruin of the Liberal party. But it is the
sequel to the story that have to tell.
Mrs Gladstone knew of the sale and, woman
like, resolved to know the reason why. She had
loved that work of Millais. painted just at
time when her husband was getting out of the
long valley of the shadow of Disraeli. and be-

DIR. ALDEN INDICATED.
Report of the Prudential Committee of the
American Board of Missions.

BOSTON, Mass, June 30.-The prudential COM
mittee of the American board has at last made
statement vindicating the course of DR.. Alden.
The document is a long It says:
The responsibility for all decisions respecting
applications for missionary service rests entire
ly with the prudential committee. No secretary
or other executive officer who shares our delib-
eratlons has any vote, and the committee has
sometimes voted on these matters, as on others,
In opposition to recommendations or all the sec
retaries. No secretary ever decides candidates
case either by accepting, rejecting indefinitely
deferring it. To this rule there has never been
exception. OF course reference is made to
such formal applications could by any possi-
bllity be entertained by the committee. There
have always been persons who have had inform
al conferences with the secretary with a view to
possible missionary service under the board, in
which conferences the imDossibility of such
service soon appeared. Some defect in health,
some misconcept AS to the nature of the work
of the board, manifest incompetence in
faculty, or education, or wide divergence of re-
ligicus belief. domestic complications
made the matter clear. In ali cases the necesSa-
ry preliminary inquiries have been in the hands
of the secretaries and ever since the establish
ment of a distinct home department, some fifty
years ago. these inquiries by action of the COM
mittee have been in the hands of the home Sec
retary The statement that any one OF the sec
retaries has ever decided any formal offer of
ice concerning which there was any real ques-
ton is entirely incorrect No case turning upon
the question of future probation has ever been
decided by any secretary. All such cases when
maLure0. ike otner matters recurring acClon,
submitted to the committee by the secretary
with or without recommendations. The method
then has been to consider every case in all it's
features and solely its own merits The
rion when reached IS always the action of the
committee. The service of the home secretary
in the preliminary preparation of the cases OF
missionary candidates has been intimately
known TO us in it's various steps, and it has
seemed to us like his service in other official du-
ties, faithful, kind. and wise. 1t IS necessary
for him to inform us, among other things
corning the doctrlnal views OF candidates. To
do this he must inquire into them. In his man
of doing this have never had evidence
that he has exceeded the limits of his proper re-
sponsibility or that his action has not been
siderate, respectful. and adapted to the require
ments of the case hand.

There is good road from Jaffa to Jerusalem
and by coach it is reached in day. On the
way passed LYDIA, where Dorcas raised
to life by Peter; the place where Samson fired
the Philistnes grain with 300 jackas; the site of
the city Pharaoh gave Solomon for taking his
daughter off his hands, and the valley of the
fiict between David and Goliath.
After thirtyseven miles riding we came to the
new city outside the walls, where many houses
have been built in healthier localities than in the
crowded city. The Jafa gate is thirty-si feet
square. Formerly 1t was shut at night-fal and
the belateu traveller entered through door in
this huge gate, the small door being about the
size of an ordinary door. When we asked to be

door If q camel got through that there would
have to be considerable squeezing. On either
side of the street there shops for the sale OF
small articles made in Jerusalem, though
European goods are extensively sold in the Holy
City.
On the right of the Jaffa gate there is a tower
called the tower of David, which is probably
the only building now standing which Jesus saw
when he was upon the earth. Not only have
the others been destroyed, but they have been

one who employs iI, but it is not an agreeable

are tightly grasped by the English hand-shaker.
